Re:Some notes on using esbuild by Steltek on Tuesday November 16, 2021 @11:54AM (#29242883)
I must be crazy because I still prefer regular Make to CMake. It seems like CMake tried to fix autotools problems (which were not Make's problems) but then created new problems of it's own. Why is setting an install prefix so complicated when it's the ONE option that almost everyone wants? Why the case sensitive name ending in .txt?

And CMake still seems extremely C/C++ focused. I don't want a language-specific build tool anymore. Heck, I'm not even sure I necessarily need a build tool so much as a generic task runner with patterns and complex/dynamic dependencies.
